It's hard to choose winners and losers of a debate until enough time has passed so that all the participants have been fact checked. Governor Christie, for example, came across as a winner during last week's Republican debate. He countered Marco Rubio's attacks seemingly with ease and made his own blistering comments about Obama and Clinton. A few days later, however, the glitter had faded from his performance. Marco had accused him of supporting liberal judge Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court, "common core" education, gun control, and having contributed to Planned Parenthood. Despite Christie's vehement denials it turns out Marco was right on all points.
